How are the browsers and the big 5 getting the data? It's not like you can't see what your browser is sending where.

You mean like sending what you type in the address bar to google as you type it.

Like sending usage information to the browser developer.

Like downloading code (experiments) for specific users which can essentially do anything.

Are you debugging your browser 100% of the time and fully analyzing all communications that there is nothing leaked. Is anyone?

No, I'm not, but I trust that if I disable the thing, it will disable.
